If you download a file using the Browse activity it is placed in the Journal. If you plug in a USB drive, it shows up in the Journal. You can copy a file from the Journal the Clipboard, and paste it from there into an activity. An activity can also bring up a dialog that lets the user pick a file from the Journal directly.
These are what the Sugar UI designers envision to be the only ways to interact with files. The file system is intentionally hidden.
Yes, thanks - I realize using the laptop all goes through Journal or Clipboard, but fought with it for a while., using command line as file browser and when copying files in and out using USB. Now I use Journal but I still thought that exchanging etoys projects using "Publish As" is an alternative way, but did not know about the security activity sandbox you pointed to.
Btw, in the very latest version (now in Joyride, coming up in next stable 8.2 build) I put the file open button back. This lets you insert images etc. directly from the Journal without having to go via the Clipboard.
